Good.Better late,than never.
Is that the same governor who appointed Desai to his political transition team? The same governor who thinks inspections of these clinics are not really needed? Maybe someone who has not received donations to their campaign by Dr Desai, someone with NO political/personal ties should choose the overseers?
To CAS,
I'm with you. Perhaps a federal overseer is not without merit here since there is so much political incest at the state level. At least there have been recusals but I'm sure only as a result of the huge public outcry and federal attention on this cluster muck.
Considering the medicare connection for the feds it could be interesting (since they are watching all this very closely).
They'd like to nail Gibbons and a few other officials here in Nevada anyway...
But for the board to just hand him the opportunity to appoint 'overseers' given the scope of all this and other problems related to elected officials',the board's move to have Gibbons make the appointments is ridiculous.
The governor should move to step aside as well and allow for an outside entity to make the appointments.
